Hello World! My First Photo Post.

Hi, all!

I am an on-again off-again photography hobbyist. And I have the problem I imagine many do: I get overrun by unorganized photographs. I take them, but don't look back often enough to do any photo editing and organizing. So, they kind of get lost.

But... I am trying to get better. And having found this group to share with, I hope to start to catch up. Maybe actually look back at the photos I have taken and post some from time to time.

Wish me luck.

Starting to review my work, I found a few favorites that I have done the photo editing on in the past.

Title: A Solemn Blessing

This photo seemed somehow appropriate for starting my journey. It is one of the first photos I ever took after buying a DSLR. I was just learning about selective focus and this shot let me know I could use it to good effect.

Next I have...

Title: Hard Candies

Somehow, I have always liked this shot just for the shapes, colors and the way the light plays on the wrappers.

Next...

Title: Eyes on the Prize

I have a way of ending up flat on my belly on the floor/ground when I am taking photographs. But it is worth it. As in this shot which I think is made by the ground level point of view.

And finally...

Title: As Night Falls

This is my favorite "magic hour" photograph. Taken just as the sun was setting behind me, I just love the blue framing of the city light.

Thanks for checking out my first post. I look forward to sharing more as I start to sift through my SD card to see what forgotten gems I might find.

That solemn blessing looks really great for a first picture. Welldone

Thank you. I was learning for sure. I must have taken 30 pictures of the monument, with different settings trying to learn what I was doing. The real kudos go to my wife for not killing me on the spot.
